Chapter 9: Kill him outside the door!
Some people believe rumors, while others don't.
Especially since Ji You never came out after returning home, it didn't take long before someone caught on to the weird logic in the rumors and analyzed that Ji You was not an immortal.
This man's name is Wang San and he lives in Nanyahe.
He also worked at Ji's house two and a half years ago, but was later evicted for petty theft.
When the Ji family was in trouble that day, he was the first to come out and cheer him up. Now that he heard that Ji You was an immortal, he couldn't accept it.
During this period, some people also argued that the Qiu girl had returned safely, but they were all rebuffed with "Let's not care about that for now."
But then, a group of households with some wealth in the county rushed to Paifang Street, waiting anxiously in front of the door with rice, grain, livestock, and Wang San fell into silence.
These families who came to Paifang Street had taken some of their property when the Ji family was in trouble and shared a piece of the sweet soup.
Most of the things that could not be taken away during the escape, such as cattle, utensils, farm tools, etc., were divided up by them.
More than two years of peace and quiet have made them feel at ease, especially when they see Master Ji showing no desire to make progress and wandering the streets, and they feel that he is just a man who occupies something.
Until Mr. Fang just called them to the government office and told them the truth.
So the fear of imminent death made them restless, so they took what they could and hurriedly rushed to plead guilty.
However, the door of Ji Zhai was not opened and no one answered, which made them sweat.
Finally, someone with a sharp mind showed them a clear path, so they hurried out of the city and returned all their things to the Qiu family.
"These people usually have a good relationship with Mr. Fang, and they once robbed my family of two rations of land..."
"It seems that the rumors in the county are true..."
"Hey, hey, you guys, don't wait and look, leave quickly, no crowds are allowed to make noise in front of the immortal's door!"
Just when a group of people were making irresponsible remarks, a group of police officers came with killing sticks in their hands, and some of them had slightly swollen cheeks.
So at this moment, the reputation of the Ji family's immortals truly began to intimidate everyone.
In fact, Yuyang County Magistrate Fang Zhongzheng also wanted to apologize.
In the early morning, he went to the streets to work with his servants. When he returned home, he saw injured chrysanthemums all over the ground and became furious. Then he listened to his servants talk about Ji You's incident and was silent for a long time.
Who would have thought that the son-in-law whom he looked down on that day would not even dare to say a word in Fengxian Villa today.
But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he was stopped by his daughter.
"Dad, your daughter will also be an immortal of Tianshuyuan, but she started a little later than Ji You. Why is she so low-minded?"
"Ruoyao, the immortal thing is not nonsense."
"If you really go to apologize, won't it prove to the whole county that I made trouble two years ago and violated the rules of a woman?!"
Fang Ruoyao was already quite powerful, and her tough attitude made Fang Zhongzheng give up the idea of going to Ji's house.
He didn't know what it was like to cultivate immortality, but he just felt that what his daughter said made some sense. Since they were all students of Tianshu Academy, no one should be inferior to the other.
And just when he was about to sit down to drink tea and take stock of the grain book, he saw Cao Jinsong storming out of the government office with a sword in hand, and then he rose into the sky and cursed very unpleasantly.
"Xiao'an, Cao...where is Immortal Cao going?"
"Sir, Immortal Cao noticed a spiritual energy flying through the air, saying that the people from Fengxian Villa are back again and want to dig out Mr. Ji. Immortal Cao is very angry and is planning to kill them all outside the door with one sword and one man."
The boy who was responsible for serving the two immortals said something and then hurriedly followed.
Hearing "Niang Xipi" in the air, Fang Zhongzheng was silent for a long time. Finally, he packed up some silver and rushed to Qiu's house outside the city.
Besides Fang Zhongzheng, the families who had taken over the Ji family's property, and the Immortal of Fengxian Villa, there were others who also wanted to see Ji You.
At dusk, the sun sets over the mountains and the sky becomes silent.
Kuang Cheng walked around the back alley to the Ji family's ancestral house and stopped looking at the red and faded ink couplets on the door.
After the news about Ji You reached the Kuang family, the elders in the family knew that the two of them had been childhood friends, so they asked him to come and visit. After all, in this world, if you can catch up with an immortal, it might be a chance to save your life. . He was more courageous than others. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door and stepped in, arriving at the second entrance of the Ji family's ancestral house.
When the Ji family fled, they had emptied the house of everything, leaving only broken bricks and tiles and broken pottery fragments scattered among the growing knee-high grass, with some light green moss growing on them. It has become desolate.
"It's strange that things in the world are gone. There are no people in the courtyard, but the grass is luxuriant."
Kuang Cheng was slightly startled and looked up. Ji You's voice had already sounded from the room, as if he had already noticed it.
This is probably the magic of immortal cultivators.
Kuang Cheng stopped in front of the door, looked at the silence in the room for a long time and then said: "In the past two days, even if someone scolded you through the wall for being greedy for life and afraid of death, you still pretended not to know, but you are actually doing your best to cultivate and break through?"
"What? How dare someone scold me through the wall for being greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Kuang Cheng touched his nose: "No, no, maybe I heard wrong."
Ji You was silent for a moment, then a voice sounded from inside the room: "I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that what I got in exchange was alienation. I stopped pretending and let my cards show down."
Kuang Cheng took a step forward and said: "So that evening, when you heard me talk about the affairs of Tianshu Academy, what you wanted was not to ask Fang Ruoyao for help, but to become a disciple of Tianshu Academy?"
"How can a person who hastily come to break off the engagement when her fiancée suffers a tragic family tragedy, let people put their hope in her?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"That's it..."
After hearing this, Kuang Cheng laughed at himself.
The world said that scholars are pedantic, but he thought that was just the prejudice of the world.
But after experiencing this incident, he discovered that when something happened, he could only curse people with his words, but he didn't even know who the person should be scolding in the end.
Kuang Cheng paused for a moment, bowed stiffly and said: "Master Ji, Kuang was very disrespectful to you in the past. After my father learned about this, he taught me a lesson. I want to hold a banquet at home tonight to apologize to you." .”
Ji You was silent for a moment and then said, "No need, I've already eaten. Please go back."
"Is it okay to have a cup of thin wine?"
"Leave."
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a long time, then bowed and said goodbye, turned around and walked out.
He is not a person who is willing to flatter people. If his family hadn't forced him to come here, he might not have set foot here. Seeing that the other party didn't appreciate it, he naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
In fact, he was slightly relieved. His childhood friend was still a kind-hearted person, and that was enough.
As for the friendship in the past, Kuang Cheng doesn't think too much about it.
Ji You is now a perfect disciple of the lower three realms of Tianshu Academy. He has a noble status and is aloof from the world. He is very different from a commoner like him.
I still remember that Fang Ruoyao seemed to be like this back then, and she suddenly became arrogant.
She herself once explained that it was because a cultivator needs to have a clean mind and not be happy about things or sad about oneself, so that they can reach the top of the road. It is not because she looks down on her old friends.
Although I don’t know whether it is true or false, I can accept it.
However, just as Kuang Cheng stepped forward, there was a sudden clang sound in the room behind him, like the sound of wooden objects such as tables and chairs falling to the ground, and at the same time, there was a muffled groan, as if someone fell on the ground. land.
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly and he stepped into the room.
At this time, Ji You was slumped on the ground, with his left hand still holding the wooden chair that had fallen to the ground. His lips were full of blood, and the hem of his white robe was stained with blood red.
Some of them were obviously darkened and looked like they had been vomited on them earlier and were now completely dry.
"If I don't let you in, you will go in, you ignorant child. Now that I have mastered the magic skill of coughing up blood, I will use you to practice it!"
"?"
Kuang Cheng looked at him silently for a long time, not believing him at all.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ji You fell into silence with him.
